Could be a fun ongoing thread... there's something similar over on Berzerkers, but I figured this place would be a bit more ... "realistic?"

Today has been a long day of painting the apartment. Celebrating in a bit with a simple, everyday Fuilelatte champagne - https://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=45534Affordable and easy, it won't blow you away like a 1996 Krug, but sometimes you just want a Budweiser!

Also, in the interest of full disclosure- I'm ITB, selling wine for a living. None of my wines have ever been featured on Woot though, so don't fear the shilling.

6 hours worth of yard work today and yesterday I walked all over the timber looking for mushrooms but I was a week early. Will have to go back out to the farm this weekend and see if they're up. I am EXHAUSTED! and as such, I'm drinking Iced Tea.

Had a Sam Adams Black and Brew (Coffee Stout) as a started. We had a 2004 Little Vineyards Cabernet with dinner. And then sharing a couple of Scotches, a 24 yo Linkwood and a 25 yo Caol Ila (blame it on Corrado). At this point, I am one happy bear.

Too much wine last night at the Shakespeare in Delaware Park Fabulous Feast Dinner & Auction. Not what we normally drink, but it was decent. Tonight: water. Plain and simple! Need to detox a bit and deal with an emerging cold!

Tonight, Rooibos chai, but if last night counts the 2004 Gazzi PN liter by SH, Quixote PS from TJ's, 2010 Brancott SB, 2010 Fess Parker Santa Barbara Riesling and some 2004 Pedroncelli four grapes port. Yeah, we had company over and it was time to do some cleaning out. The Gazzi and Quixote were both very well received, as was surprisingly the Fess Parker with it's sweeter side for the ladies. The Brancott was the weak offering. Started off with some of the Cypress Grove goat cheeses with a dollop of balsamic, yum! The vintage port and those pesky caramels WW taunts us with were a fine finish.

Opened a bottle of the lance and windmill PS with the family for dinner and it was a hit. Couldn't drink much of it myself because I had about an hour and a half drive home after dinner but my brother and sister in law had no problem finishing the bottle for me.

Meh. Pretty red-fruited nose. Palate is medium bodied with red fruits. Short finish. 86 points. Some raisins are coming through as it opens in the glass, which I don't mind at all, although kind of an odd turn after the initial profile.

very nice. We had a 2002 Wm. Harrison Cabernet Sauvignon - with stuffed boneless leg of lamb. A lovely wine, but still youthful. Awake, but growing. I'm going to wait 4-5 years before even thinking about opening the remaining bottles.

The Ridge was also quite fresh, interesting this is the second time I have heard recently how good Wm. Harrison Cabs are will have to seek some out.

Now if I could only remember where I parked the car!!! Oh, and the years on the wines.
